Buy the Peugeot e-208 on Finance

The Peugeot e-208 is a five-door electric city car with range enough to take it cross country, if you need to. It has a compact, sporty shape with a long bonnet, giving it a distinctive but very modern look. Peugeot have retained the cockpit design from the petrol original with a row of piano-style toggle switches that might make you feel like you’re playing a church organ if it wasn’t for the large 10” touchscreen and the configurable 3D head-up display in front of you.

By keeping the cockpit and body design from the petrol version, Peugeot have delivered an electric car that keeps the familiar look of a petrol one and you have to look closely to spot the “e” badge or the body-coloured grille elements which give it away. This is perfect if you want an electric car but don’t want to shout “look at me, I’m driving an electric car!”

As with most electric vehicles, the e-208 uses regenerative braking to help charge the battery while driving. This extends the range, allowing you to go longer between charges. It can feel a bit “odd” if you’re used to a petrol car but you quickly get used to it and it soon becomes normal.

Despite being a new market for most consumers, the used electric car market is really starting to take off as more and more businesses are going green by moving their fleets over to electric. This means you can now look at used electric cars and expect to find a pretty decent selection on offer and the e-208 is no exception, with a range of colours, trim and mileage on offer.

Peugeot e-208 100kW Active Premium

This is the basic model but includes front and rear curtain airbags, ESP with Hill Assist, cloth seat upholstery and metallic paint choices.

Peugeot e-208 100kW Allure Premium

The Active Allure adds rear headrests, door sill protection, a 180-degree colour reversing camera and LED indicators in the mirrors to the Active Premium spec.

Peugeot e-208 100kW GT

The GT trim has metallic paint options, 17” alloys, frameless rear-view mirror, LED headlights, front parking sensors, voice recognition and a larger touchscreen with sat- nav.

Peugeot e-208 100kW GT Premium

This is the top spec’d model with the GT trim, 17” alloys, keyless entry, adaptive cruise control and Alcantara and cloth seats. The electric motor gets you from 0 – 62 in 8.1 seconds.

The e-208 is 100% electric with a WLTP (World Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) range of up to 225 miles. The vehicle comes with a Type 2 (Mode 3) charging cable as standard and Peugeot recommend a compatible Wallbox charging unit, although with an optional cable you can also charge it from a regular domestic 3-pin socket. Using a 7kW Wallbox the car will charge in approx. 7.5 hours or 24 hours using a regular socket in your home or garage.


Brief History of the Peugeot e-208

Peugeot first made an electric vehicle (EV) in 1942 (!) and an early electric 106 in 1995 but this is their first modern mass-produced EV and was released in 2019. It’s not too surprising that they’ve gone the route of taking a popular conventional model and worked out how to swap out the engine for an electrical motor. Peugeot seems to like the format and is rolling it out across other ranges.

The Peugeot e-208 stands out just enough, but not too much. It has all the features you expect in a compact electric car: it’s quiet, comfortable and has all the financial advantages of zero road tax and zero carbon emissions.

As a popular fleet car, there is already a great choice of trim and colours available in the used car market. It can accept faster charging rates (up to 100Kwh) than similar electric vehicles like the Renault Zoe and the Mini Electric which can only manage 50Kwh.

With the used car market for electric cars still in its infancy, it’s difficult to tell how these models will depreciate and therefore which financing option to look at. As with buying any used car, look at the mileage because, while an electric car has far fewer moving parts than a petrol or diesel engine so takes longer to wear out, wear and tear on tyres and bakes may be higher.

Most used E 208 models achieve 180-200 miles of real-world range depending on driving conditions and battery age. Motorway driving reduces range slightly, while urban stop-start conditions can extend it thanks to regenerative braking.
